In today's turbulent times in China, foreigners are acting with extreme arrogance on this land.
Nan Zhi was just a concubine, and Dr. Kevin didn't think there would be any bad consequences for slandering her.
But right now, Shen Yunjin is protecting her so much, and many countries want to obtain diplomatic rights and other powers in Beiping. Shen Yunjin's military officer position is exactly what the United States wants to befriend. If he really offends Shen Yunjin, it may be detrimental to the United States.
Dr. Kevin, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, finally chickened out.
"Yes, the test results are wrong, she's not sick." At this point, to save face, he couldn't help but retaliate against Nanzhi, "But she seduced me, she's a slut..."
Before he could finish speaking, Dr. Kevin was punched in the cheek. The punch was so powerful that he was knocked to the ground and felt several of his teeth loosen.
Just as he remembered, a foot stomped hard on his face. Shen Yunjin's hawk-like eyes stared coldly at him, a bloodthirsty smile playing on his lips. "I'll give you a chance. Say it again."
That was a look of utter contempt, like looking at trash. Dr. Kevin felt a chill run down his spine and could only reluctantly change his story: "No, she didn't seduce me. I must have misremembered."
Shen Yunjin stomped her foot heavily on his face: "From now on, you are not allowed to touch any member of the Shen family, not even slander. Do you understand?"
Dr. Kevin gritted his teeth in pain, "I'll remember."
Shen Yunjin then pulled his foot back, loaded the gun, and looked up at Shen Zhencai, whose expression was complicated.
He glanced at Nan Zhi one last time, and when he saw her lips slightly parted in surprise, her almond-shaped eyes filled with gratitude, he expressionlessly shifted his gaze to Shen Zhencai.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
After he finished speaking, he ignored them and strode ahead with his long legs, as if he had only helped Nanzhi to save face for the Shen family.
Shen Zhencai glanced at Dr. Kevin before following him out.
Next up was the sixth concubine.
Seeing that the matter was over, the sixth concubine glanced at Nan Zhi with some dissatisfaction, then swayed her slender waist and followed Shen Zhencai, giggling as if nothing had happened, and hooked her arm around his.
Shen Zhencai didn't refuse and even patted her little hand.
Nan Zhi watched this scene from behind, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
Suddenly realizing something was wrong, she glanced to the side and saw Wen Xuyang hiding around the corner.
He was hiding there, peeking at her like he was watching a giant panda. Noticing her gaze, he smiled awkwardly, waved at her, and turned to leave.
But when Nanzhi took a few steps and turned back, she saw him secretly watching her from behind.
She ignored him and glanced back at the group of people walking quickly ahead.
The main reason was Shen Yunjin. He was tall and had long legs, so one step of his was equivalent to three steps of hers, and he quickly left her behind.
She could only speed up in an attempt to keep up.
For some reason, ever since she sped up, the people ahead seemed to slow down, intentionally or unintentionally.
As soon as Nan Zhi stepped out of the hospital, she was startled by the cold wind blowing in her face. She sneezed, which made the people in front of her stop and turn around to look at her.
Nan Zhi's brows were slightly furrowed, the tip of her nose was a little red, and her fair and translucent skin made her look pitiful and endearing as she stood at the door.
Shen Zhencai finally remembered her existence. Seeing her rubbing her arms, he was about to take off the cloak that the sixth concubine was wearing and give it to her when he saw Shen Yunjin's driver rush over from the side, holding a military cloak in his hand.
"Young Marshal, you left in such a hurry that you didn't bring a cloak. Please put it on."
Shen Yunjin didn't even turn his head, replying expressionlessly, "I'm not cold, give it to Sixth Concubine."
The sixth concubine, who was suddenly called out, looked at Shen Yunjin with a sense of flattery.
Ah, why is Shen Yunjin suddenly so concerned about her?
Did she get blown by the wind when she just went out?
Actually, compared to Shen Zhencai, the sixth concubine preferred the handsome and young Shen Yunjin. She had tried to get close to Shen Yunjin several times before, but he was like an ascetic monk, always with a cold face, keeping people at arm's length.
Unexpectedly, now...
The driver walked toward the sixth concubine, who was secretly delighted and was about to take the cloak and put it on when she saw Shen Zhencai suddenly take the cloak away.
"Sixth Concubine isn't cold. Here, Ninth Concubine, let me put this on you."
Nan Zhi timidly stepped forward, and Shen Zhencai took a cloak and draped it over her shoulders. He lowered his eyes to tie the cloak, and his gaze towards her returned to its gentleness.
He even acted as if nothing had happened, gently asking her, "How are you? Are you warmer now?"
Disgusting man.
Nanzhi smiled shyly, "It's much warmer now, thank you, General."
Seeing that she wasn't throwing a tantrum and was still as gentle and charming as ever, Shen Zhencai felt a little happier and suddenly reached out and took Nanzhi's small hand.
The cloak was so wide it almost reached the ground, and the air was filled with a strange, crisp scent, exactly the same as the one Shen Yunjin was wearing. Nan Zhi was a little stunned and didn't notice that he had pulled her right there.
Shen Zhencai stroked her small hands: "Your hands are so cold, here, let me warm them up for you."
She tried to struggle, but he held her tightly. Helpless, she could only purse her lips, lower her head silently, and let him pull her forward.
As she passed Shen Yunjin, she glanced up and noticed his gaze falling on her hand, which was being held by Shen Zhencai. Her eyelashes trembled, and her eyes instantly reddened. She dared not meet his eyes and lowered them in humiliation, tears almost falling from them.
Shen Yunjin watched as she reluctantly got into the car with Shen Zhencai, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
Seeing this, the sixth concubine angrily followed after them.
That little bitch is making herself smug again.
As soon as she saw Shen Zhencai, the sixth concubine immediately changed her expression, smiling, "General, I want to go back with you too."
Without waiting for Shen Zhencai's reply, he squeezed in first.
In fact, Shen Zhencai has not yet dispelled his suspicions about Nanzhi. He is a suspicious person, and it is impossible for him to dispel his suspicions without seeing enough evidence.
But just now, when he held Nanzhi's hand, the delicate and soft touch felt better than any of his other women, and he couldn't help but want to favor her a little more.
So when he saw the sixth concubine squeezed in the back, his expression turned slightly cold. "Sixth concubine, go outside and call a car."
The sixth concubine was startled, somewhat unwilling, and still wanted to whine, "General..."
Shen Zhencai's face turned cold.
The sixth concubine could only bite her lip and reluctantly get out of the car.
After Nanzhi got into the car, Shen Zhencai personally closed the car door for her and then sat down next to her.
After getting into the car, Shen Zhencai didn't touch her again, but gave her a meaningful look before saying to the driver, "To the People's Hospital."
Nanzhi realized something and looked up at him.
He still doubted her innocence, so he wanted to take her to the hospital and watch her get examined in person.
